§ MR. WINGFIELD-DIGBY (Dorsetshire, N.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he can state how much the Government expect Yeomanry adjutants to spend in doing their duties on pay which is only 10s. a day against 13s. with their own regiment; and if, seeing that a Yeomanry adjutant has to do the work of two adjutants and two quartermasters, and pay all travelling expenses for himself, horse, and servants on £4 a year for each squadron in the brigade, he will take their case into consideration.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe rates of pay and allowances for adjutants of Yeomanry were fixed in 1892, on the recommendation of a Committee which also reported in favour of the brigade system since introduced. The Secretary of State is of opinion that so long as the present system of training is in force there is no sufficient ground for altering the rate of pay.
